Ghost Recon Movie Pitch Heads To Hollywood

Ubisoft Motion Pictures is turning its attention now to the Tom Clancy-branded Ghost Recon series for a possible big screen treatment. The news comes from UMP chief executive Jean-Julien Baronnet, the former head of Luc Besson's EuropaCorp, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Ubi started establishing itself as a Hollywood player in 2012, with news that Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy had been attached to big screen adaptations of Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, respectively. There's little to say at this point about Ghost Recon beyond the fact that it's in the pitch stage (which is very early in Hollywood terms); expect to hear much more first about those other two projects.

The LA Times interview is largely focused on profiling Baronnet and his work at Ubisoft. If you're at all curious to learn more about the company's efforts in the film world, this is well worth a read.
